I purchased several round, flat UFO led lights which come with clips  
so I can hang them nearly anywhere. These lights have about a dozen  
SLEDs around their circumference, so the light is evenly spread. Now,  

if they could immitate the warm glow of an incandescent Westy interior  

light, I'd call them prefect.
